A journey...or something.

I was feeling quite ambitious and brave, so I decided to paint a large canvas. The Canvas is 3x4ft. Which is pretty big as far as i'm concerned.  I had been sitting on the image i wanted to use for some time.  It was just about finding the right thing to do with it.  Usually my work focuses on a single figure, so I wanted to develop more aspects in a piece with more of a narrative.

I had also been wanting to do the traditional things that painters do. Nudes and self portraits. So this one kills two birds with one stone.  I was a bit apprehensive to start because its quite a private and sordid little moment.  But private and sordid little moments is what I paint so....
